Don&rsquo;t exactly have a way to make rivots at home so it was an annoying thing to find out.</p>MacHarborGuy on TOL-09509 - Soldering Iron - 30W Replacement Heating ElementMacHarborGuyurn:uuid:4dd773b2-1100-d3b8-f11c-6b8d9c02f4e92012-06-28T12:03:32-06:00<p>The description is incorrect. You do not need just a screw driver. There is a third wire (green) that goes to ground that is mounted to the heating element of the soldering iron that i have been unable to detach from the original iron/element.</p>HmniTyty on TOL-09509 - Soldering Iron - 30W Replacement Heating ElementHmniTytyurn:uuid:728bf580-d0cd-7e1c-34d0-6302513933c22012-02-09T02:43:19-07:00<p>If you are still wandering. Yes you can use it as a stand alone heat source. And it is designed to work on 110V. Hope that helped.</p>Customer #270522 on TOL-09509 - Soldering Iron - 30W Replacement Heating ElementCustomer #270522urn:uuid:75b548b9-5093-72da-1e6b-02486ae3b7462011-12-10T07:45:28-07:00<p>Hi! Can you use this as a standalone heat source? What is the ideal voltage for creating my own circuit with it?</p>
